SGARF-PIN HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 17, 1908.

Application filed March 18, 1907. Serial No. 363,000.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Hans I'IARTMANN, tailor, residing at XVIII Michaelerstrasse 1, in the city of Vienna, Austria-Hungary, having invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf-Pin Holders, do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

This invention relates to a device for holding an ornamental pin in a necktie cravat scarf or the like neckwear (hereinafter re ferred to as a necktie and for stiffening and supporting parts of the necktie so that they will not collapse or get flattened.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the necktie in position.

The device, which is generally constructed from wire, but which may be constructed from strip metal or the like, comprises :a spring 1 adapted to hold a necktie pin and to support the necktie as hereinafter stated; a necktie holder 5 and a relatively rigid member 4 connecting and locating said spring and holder.

The spring 1 is preferably made of a conical spiral or volute formation with spaces between its adjacent convolutions, but may be made without such spaces.

The member 4 may be in one piece with the spring 1 or may be connected thereto, and may be made of a different material, or of a different cross section, to the spring 1.

The holder 5 is or may be adapted to engage with a collar stud (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2) so that the device will depend therefrom and be supported thereby.

In use, the pointed end of the pin 2 is passed through the material of the necktie so as to engage, at any desired angle, with the coils of the spring 1 as shown in the drawings. The pin will thus be securely held in position by the coils of the spring engaging with the helical grooving 3 of the pin and the conical contour of the spring 1, will also serve to support and back up the adjacent part of the necktie and prevent it from collapsing or crumpling against the shirt of the wearer, while the part of the necktie between the pin and the collar will be kept distended by the member 4. The member 4 may be bent, at any suitable angle for use with bows, so as to accommodate the pin if placed horizontally.

WVhat I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a device for holding a necktie pin at any desired angle and for yieldingly maintaining part of the necktie bulged, in combination, a conical spiral spring having spaces between its adjacent convolutions, a necktie holder, and rigid means connecting said spring and holder.

2. A device for holding a necktie pin and for supporting and stiffening parts of a necktie, consisting of a spiral spring made of wire of a rounded cross section and with spaces between its adjacent coils, a necktie holder adapted to engage a collar stud, and a bendable member attached to said spring and adapted to connect the same to the holder in any desired relation thereto.

3. A device for holding a necktie pin and for supporting and stifi'ening a necktie, consisting of a volute spring adapted to engage with the pin so as to hold the same, and with the adjacent part of the necktie, so as to support the same, means adapted to hold the necktie adjacent to. a collar-stud and to engage the stud and a rigid member connecting the spring and said necktie holding part and causing them to keep the intermediate part of the necktie distended, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
